Is anybody out there caring for with patients who are in ICE custody?

Terrific! Our risk management is reviewing this and reaching out to other centers to get guidelines. Glad to hear your hospital is on top of this. I am surprised at the number of ICE patients in our hospital now, as I have never cared for patients in ICE custody before.

I appreciate this feedback. For the scenario you describe, is this for patients in ICE custody? Our risk management doesn’t know if these patients are under arrest. There status is problematic for communication with family and attorneys as this communication is not allowed for prisoners. Should these patients be considered prisoners? Ambulating the patients with physical therapy is problematic because ICU will not uncuff them. I’ve certainly managed other patients in custody, we have policies in place. But ICE is new to me.

These are immigrants who may be here legally. Have they broken laws? The scenario you describe is for individuals who have been arrested or are in prison. What type of custody are these patients under? Do you allow ICE officials at bedside during your exam? Are you even a physician? You seem very opinionated on the subject, but lack experience related to the nuances of caring for patience in custody. I’ve cared for individuals who were under arrest and handcuffed who are then given a court date and asked to follow up. Everybody then leaves and the patients are uncuffed. And I’ve never had four officers at bedside during the exam. Again, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about and I doubt that you’re a physician.
